Cambodia, UAE conclude comprehensive economic partnership agreement The UAE and the Kingdom of Cambodia have finalised the terms of a comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CEPA), paving the way for a new era of trade and investment cooperation between the two nations. The Cepa with Cambodia will serve as a catalyst to increase and diversify bilateral trade by substantially eliminating tariffs, reducing non-tariff trade barriers and promoting trade in goods, services and investment. It builds on growing UAE-Cambodia economic relations that, in 2022, resulted in non-oil trade exceeding $401 million, which represents a growth of 31 per cent compared to 2021 - and 146 per cent more on the pre-Covid year of 2019. In terms of investments, bilateral FDI had reached $3.8 million by the end of 2020. (Source: Khmer Times)
